...from a specific forum.
What I would like to do is have a forum for, lets say, "News".
Whenever a new topic is made in that forum it will show up on the front page of my site in a sort of blog style with the topic title and a certain number of characters (~200 or so) from that topic.
This is an example. Lets say that the "News" forum has the following topics:
News about something 1.....last post time.....replies.....views
News about something 2.....last post time.....replies.....views
News about something 3.....last post time.....replies.....views
News about something 4.....last post time.....replies.....views
News about something 5.....last post time.....replies.....views
I would like this to show up on on the front page of my site as:
News about something 1
200 or so characters of text from the topic "News about something 1"...
News about something 2
200 or so characters of text from the topic "News about something 2"...
News about something 3
200 or so characters of text from the topic "News about something 3"...
News about something 4
200 or so characters of text from the topic "News about something 4"...
News about something 5
200 or so characters of text from the topic "News about something 5"...
I am just looking for the raw code. I haven't decided if I am going to do this in Joomla/Mambo, Vbadvanced, Vbportal, or if I just want to make a single static page for this. (I really don't need all of the features of a full CMS)
Can this be done using the rss output from Vbulletin?
Has something like this already been done? (point me in the right direction please)
